肯亚2025年的网络法扩大了政府封锁网站、惩罚在线言论、引起言论自由关切的权力。 Kenya’s 2025 cyber law expands government power to block websites and punish online speech, raising free expression concerns.

肯尼亚2025年的《计算机滥用和网络犯罪(修正)法》扩大了有争议的网络犯罪法律,赋予广泛的权力封锁网站,并以“非法活动”和“宗教极端主义”等模糊术语将在线言论定罪。 虽然对一些街区增加了司法监督,但针对网钓和“不道德”言论的章节有可能压制记者、活动分子和普通公民。 Kenya’s 2025 Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes (Amendments) Act expands controversial cybercrime laws, granting broad powers to block websites and criminalize online speech under vague terms like “unlawful activities” and “religious extremism.” While judicial oversight was added for some blocks, sections targeting phishing and “indecent” speech risk suppressing journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens. 高等法院暂停了有关宪法问题的一些条款,但其他条款,包括对网络骚扰的处罚已经生效。 The High Court has suspended some provisions over constitutional concerns, but others, including penalties for cyber harassment, have taken effect. 人权团体警告法律破坏言论自由,使政府能够越权,敦促立即进行审查以保护数字权利。 Human rights groups warn the law undermines free expression and enables government overreach, urging immediate review to protect digital rights.
